Growing Leadership, One Meetup at a Time
NACAR
Every quarter, something special happens at NACAR. Their Leadership Meetups bring together Design Leads, Managers, and C-Suite leaders to explore the art and practice of leadership in creative teams. Over the past year, we've been honored to co-design and facilitate these gatherings with NACAR, nurturing a shared leadership culture grounded in feedback, purpose, communication, and, most recently, goal-setting.
Nacar’s leadership meetups are spaces of reflection, alignment, and momentum a collective pause to ask: how are we growing as leaders?
Objectives
01. Support the ongoing development of NACAR’s leadership culture
02. Facilitate shared understanding of leadership principles and practices

A well-balanced space for growth and connection
Each 4-hour Leadership Meetup is intentionally crafted to balance content, dialogue, and experiential learning.
Feedback as a Habit
Through our “Feedback Magic” methodology, leaders practiced giving and receiving feedback grounded in emotional intelligence and shared agreements.
Goal Setting & Clarity
Most recently, we co-designed a workshop to support NACAR’s leaders in defining meaningful team objectives, fostering ownership, transparency, and strategic alignment.
Collaboration & Continuous Improvement
During communication skills sessions for leaders, we examined what really makes teams evolve: retrospective practices, team alignment, and open feedback loops come along with a deeper understanding on how communication is structured and affects our decision-making processes.
Shared Purpose
We explored purpose not just as a concept, but as a driver of motivation and cohesion defining why we lead and what value we want to create together.
Impact & Reflections
Leaders come not just to learn, but to reconnect, with each other, with their purpose, and with the direction they want to shape.
As Belén Suárez, Head of People & Culture, shared:
“From the very beginning, Verbalima brought an incredible passion to the work. These sessions are moments we genuinely look forward to as a team. We always leave with a smile, a reflection, and a takeaway. Thank you for creating such meaningful experiences and for always adapting to our evolving context. Let's keep growing together!”
